I would like to be able to sort tasks in Projects by Due Date so we can do through them chronologically during stand ups and meetings. Is this possible?

    Hi,

    You can by going to Projects => Tasks (on the left panel)

    Then you will see the column Due Date that you can sort chronologically

    This almost works, apologies if I'm missing an obvious step - let me better explain myself.

    So we have loads of projects and lots of employees. For each project 'stand up' I want to look at the tasks specifically associated with that project and whoever is on that project, and then sort those tasks chronologically.

    Ideally I'd just sort by Due Date in the specific Projects / Project / Plan view

    Using the Task View approach, going via Projects => Tasks, then I would need a filter for Project, at the moment there are filters for Users and for Status. Can I create a Project filter or Custom Filter in this view?

    Thanks!

    Ashley

    Ok, so you can not make this filter but a way to tackle this is :

    Go to Projects in List view

    Create a filter to isolate your Projects

    When you hover on the "Progress" bar you will see all your activities and tasks to come + the owner of those

    Thanks Axel, alas even when you hover over them they are not sorted chronologically.

    The only solution is to manually drag them into date order which is time consuming and daft.

    Can we get a sort option added?
